I just kept thinking, Why are you bothering? (I get why they were, as his family, but as a viewer, nothing compelled me to want to help him.
Glad to see that I wasn't the only one not feeling Bryceton. From his not-a-name ...
Same! I was expecting to see a 22 year old with a 38 year old mother who didn't know any better when she named him. Not a 41 year old full grown man!
